• SSO (Single Sign On) wrt Hyperion

  Hi all
  
  What is SSO (Single Sign On) wrt Hyperion. I heard about SSO for the first time?
  
  receive your answer.

  Hyperion Shared Services is the management control of users centrally for all hyperion products. It has a native directory where create us users and allowing the use of hyperion products.

  Other directories of the user in a company like MSAD may also be configured with shared services apply only sign for users. With login user SSO to hyperion, using their own network ID products they use every day rather than the native user Id created for them in Shared Services.

  Native directory can be administered thorugh shared services where as another phone user will be distributed by their own console adminstraiton.

  I hope this helps!

• Structure of security suitable for Single Sign on Server

  We're all used to how design the structure of security for vCenter Server if you had a before 5.1 existing VMware environment.  Who should have administrative privileges in vCenter Server, what roles, permissions and so on should be attributed to the what users and groups - these issues have already been addressed in our current configuration.

  Now Single Sign introduced a significant new of the determination of the issues of access and authentication.

  I would like to have some ideas on how this should be managed.  For example, directors of previous VMware by definition should become Single Sign we're directors? The Active Directory domain administrators now begin to get involved with the SSO on the server?

  For example, the Single Sign on now VMware forces administrators to configure things like:

  -For the SSO password complexity policy

  -Expired password for SSO

  -Locking strategy

  We probably already have these things closely controlled in AD and locked with group policy, but you cannot apply the policy of group directly to a SINGLE authentication server and make it to a GPO in Active Directory.  (You can do Windows SSO running operating system on have a GPO applied, but it will not set up authentication SINGLE itself, just the OS).

  VMware admins are looking at a new set of issues related to authentication and authorization.  Someone must have written something or will write something to help us get the overview of what changes with SSO if anything and how we look at SSO to a safety design and best practices.

  Do I just existing vCenter Server admins admins SSO or do we need to take a step back and reconsider?

  Hello

  In fact, Yes. SSO is strong enough in 5.5. It has some limitations around to send passwords expired, but this is mainly because some people do not use. I use SSO to provide usernames and passwords for all my VMware vCenter and related products service accounts. That is an account for POS, Horizon, vCops, Log Insight, etc.  It's more about the conservation of the once separate systems more with no real need to AD for services. But AD via SSO is used by users.

  Read the documentation and determine how SSO fits in your current password policy and take a long, hard look at your virtualization environment. Y at - it a 1 service-by-service account in dialogue directly with vCenter? If this isn't the case, SSO can help you implement that. The key is to match its functionality to your security policy.

• HP officejet 6978 all in a single p: hp officejet 6978 printer all in one, appearing to create its own wifi signal

  After I had my printer connected and working properly, I looked in my wireless options to connect to the internet. I have hooked the fine, but in these choices, was a connection option in/with? a hp officejet 6978 printer all-in-one. Before you buy and hanging upwards, connect this option was not there. Now, this is the case and showing a stronger than my router signal. This printer is able to be a wifi connection? Any ideas?

  That's great. I see nothing in the instructions, and the seller does not mention either. It seems to me that this feature would be another selling point. I do not necessarily want to disable it. I like the idea of having him as a backup, if my current one falls down, would only be an option? If so, I tried to connect using pw of my router, but cannot connect. This would have a default PW? is so, how do I find it. So thanks for your help. As I said nothing even alluded to this function...

• Single Sign-On sequence 5.1 to 5.5 upgrade (multisite mode and bound)

  Hello

  I have trying to find SSO upgrade documentation that describes the options I have to choose for the following upgrade scenario:

  Before the upgrade to 5.5:

  • 2 x 5.1 vCentre servers (Windows 2K8R2) along with related modes.
  • Each vCentre has its own local SSO server that runs on the same server vCentre. Both have the same deployment ID.

  My understanding of what the upgrade for authentication UNIQUE and related modes cannot function after update 5.5 should go as follows (obviously related modes has been removed before the upgrade):

  1. On the first SSO server. Switch from 5.1 to 5.5 using the MULTISITE option. (Web Client follow-up, inventory Service & Server vCentre).
  2. On the 2nd Server SSO. Switch from 5.1 to 5.5 using the MULTISITE option. (Web Client follow-up, inventory Service & Server vCentre).

  The problem is the first SSO server when I select MULTISITE option on the next page, I get the details of the host partner and password I was do one of the following errors:

  1. Could not get the server certificate, or
  2. Unable to get the host name

  And cannot proceed with the upgrade. The only option that works is the AUTONOMOUS vCENTRE SSO SERVER option which I think related modes don't work after upgrade.

  Any help pointing me to a document that stresses the good options if bound mode is preserved after upgrade would be great.

  See you soon

  You use the 2 vCenter 5.5 Update Setup or an older version? Because there are a few changes on the descriptions of the modes of deployments between vCenter 5.5 GA/starting at day 1 and 5.5 Update 2, take a look:

  The deployment modes available for vCenter Single Sign-On are:

  For 5.5GA for vSphere vSphere 5.5 Update 1 b:

  • vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server
  • vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter Server into an existing site (formerly Cluster HA)
  • vCenter Single Sign-On for an additional vCenter server with a new site (formerly Multisite)

  For vSphere 5.5 Update 2 and beyond:

  • SSO Server vCenter standalone
  • High availability
  • Multisite

  For your first vCenter, you must select "vCenter Standalone single authentication server ' and the second 'Multisite' option, see this note:

  Multisite | vSphere 5.5 Update 2 and beyond

  This option installs a vCenter Single Sign-On additional server in a new site of logic. Single Sign-On Server vCenter are created using this option, they will all be members of the same domain of authentication vSphere.local. As an improvement on vSphere 5.1, provided Single Sign-On (policy, users of the solution/application, sources of identity) are now automatically replicated between each vCenter Server Single Sign-On in the same field of authentication vSphere.local 30 seconds. This mode should be used after the first Single Sign-On Server vCenter is deployed using the vCenter Single Sign-On for your first server vCenter Server or stand-alone vCenter Server SSO option, depending on your version of version 5.5 of vSphere .

  For more information, see this KB article: VMware KB: vCenter Single Sign-On deployment for vSphere 5.5 modes

• Upgrade to vCenter U1 5.0 to 5.5 and vCenter Single Sign-On

  Hello

  We have two vCenter 5.01 U1 linked by patterns related to our environment. We want to move to vCenter 5.5 now by using the single sign on Type Mulitsite. One vCenter Server's Active Directory domain Europe the other is NALA. These two domain belong to a single root domain. Can we use the sign on unique Type of Mulitsite in this scenario?

  Kind regards

  Savir

  Yes that's why I mentioned the site... so, during installation of 5.5, you will create 2 sites.

  "Each site is represented by a vCenter Single Sign-On cases, with a single Single Sign-On Server vCenter, or a cluster of high availability.

• RoboHelp 8 / RoboHelp Server 9 and Single sign-on (SSO)

  Hello

  We currently use RoboHelp 8 and are looking into the purchase of RoboHelp Server 9 Before buy us the product, we want a solution of single sign on for our application with RoboHelp as Help Authoring Tool. The help documents are based on the permissions and roles of group. Currently, we publish PDF documents and set up permissions based on the single sign-on (SSO).

  Is it possible to integrate the HR server with PPL system and a database customized for authentication? It can be integrated in a single authentication infrastructure? How does the mechanism of access control? Can I set permissions that is allowed to view certain documents/projects?

  I doubt Verlean but like I said, I don't use LDAP. In my view, that it works on their name of user and password. I try and contact someone at Adobe and see if they can contribute to this thread to confirm one way or other. An interesting scenario.

• VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

  I'm running the virtual appliance of the trial 5.5.0.20400 build 2442330 on ESXi 5.5.0, 2068190

  While I try to log on to the Web Client, I get this error.  VSphere Web Client cannot connect to the server vCenter Single Sign On.

  I put fallow the steps to disable SSO by changing the webclient.properties line add file and ad sso.enabled = false .    Then on the vCenter Server Appliance, restart the vSphere client service by typing service vsphere-client restart .

  I enclose the reference files.

  All ideas will be useful

  
  

  This answer was simple, all I had to do was remove the # in front of the statement in the file.   and SSO has been disabled after the restart of the service.

• VCenter Server 5.1 installation fails on registration with vCenter Single Sign On

  The error message is:

  Error 29113. Incorrect entry - a command line argument is not, a file is not found or file specifications doesen't contain the required information, or clocks on the two systems are not synchronized. Check vm_ssoreg.log in the temporary folder of the system for more details.

  Closed log file.

  Know someone at - it a solution for this?

  I had the same problem with the certificate has expired. VMware has made a new kb article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2035413

  This vcsso file is only there if you do not click ok on the error window. but you do it anyway. Look under the VirtualCenter\SSL of C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware and see if the rui certificate has expired. mine did and after I removed all the files in there and restart the installation, everything went well, and the new certificate is valid 10 years ;-)

  hope it does not help anyone.

• Can we use Forms SINGLE SIGN ON (SSO) to access publishers BI

  Hello
  
  We feel SSO for Fussion of Middleware Oracle 11g. so using this we are access application form.
  
  Can we use Fussion of Oracle 11g SSO Middleware to access the editor of BI Application.
  
  So my requirement is single sign-on (SSO) in forms, can access BI Publisher.
  
  If anyone knows pls guide me.
  
  
  Thank you.
  
  Published by: Sridhar 1245 on November 26, 2012 20:48

  As I said, this has nothing to do with the forms. If you do not access forms using SSO, then by calling BI Pub in the same browser session, the new browser window would contain the same SSO session details and allow authentication even to use IF the app (Pub BI) is configured to use SINGLE sign-on and is compatible with the SSO version you use. If this does not work, then you must remove the forms of your tests and try to run a report without Forms. Call him directly and see if it displays the same SSO login screen. If so, can identify you? If it does not display the same SSO login or you cannot access the report then the problem is in SSO or BI Pub. Make sure that you access the same SSO server that uses Forms.

• Single Sign-On (SSO)

  Hello

  I'm new on SSO so I have questions on how to configure SINGLE sign-on and use for LC ES2.

  I want to start by making a /AdminUI auto connect or right management UI

  In a senario as follows:

  -MS Active Directory with domain name: domaintest.local

  -Addition of the LK domain as an area of business with the ID: dmtest name: domaintest

  -No connection problem in LC /AdminUI with AD user account

  From there, what are the things to do?

  1. can I use "SSO using HTTP headers" in this case?

  If so, how do you get the value underneath? is it that car set or a reference somewhere?

  HTTP header for the user identifier:
  HTTP header for the field:

  Field mapping:

  2. Apart from the configuration on the side of the LC, what other things I need to do or setup? (for example to create a Web service that allows to move the HTTP headers?)

  FYI, I did everything for the SSO... I'm from vacuum.

  Hope someone can guide me on SSO or give me a link of reference for a complete installation of SSO.

  Thank you

  If you want to accomplish this, you need to use SPENEGO. The scenario you describe don't use HTTP header so it won't work.

  When you set up your business directory you want to select Kerberos as an authentication method, then choose the SPENEGO option at this time here.

  I did only once (some time) and I don't have these machines available... so I can't advise you beyond that.

• Single Sign-On database

  Hello

  Is there a document or compatibility matrix that can provide all the versions and platforms supported for the Single Sign On database?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Well... There is the kind of logical conclusion we can draw from the installation guide , if you look on the pages of the requirements.

  Page 328 reads as follows:

  Type of database (for an existing database).

  Version support for Microsoft SQL, Oracle, or IBM DB2. See the

  VMware product interoperability matrices to

  http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.

  PHP? for versions supported.

  And there is this KB: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2034918

  Who says:

  What are the requirements of compatibility for SSO?

  Compatibility for UNIQUE authentication requirements are the same as those of vCenter Server.

  And the fact that the compatibility matrix does not have a separate for the SSO entry is also an indicator, if SSO would require separate DB information or requirements, they would normally update the matrix accordingly.

  I hope this helps

• Problem in installing Single Sign On.
